Just take them out and put on a newspaper and let dry. Keep them in a cool dark place until next year.

You can remove the pulp from the seeds and save them to plant, but what you get probably won't be pumpkins. Pumpkins are in fact a squash, and they readily cross with other squashes that may have been nearby. While the fruit is a pumpkin, the "next generation" could be completely different. If you want a good use for the seed, I suggest spreading them on a cookie sheet and toasting them in the oven to eat like sunflower seeds. They're very good to eat, and good for you as well. If you really want to plant pumpkins (they take a lot of space - fair warning), then I strongly suggest you get seed from a nursery so that you will get a stable hybrid seed from pumpkins grown in controlled conditions.

specific you are able to shop the seed yet while the squashes are hybrids or planted interior of a million mile of the different pepo style squash (zucchini, summer time squash and maximum pumpkins) the seed you preserve this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days won't produce plant life that would have squash it rather is actual to style. yet you will get a mix of pumpkins, gourds and zucchini maximum all of which would be quite and distinctive stable to devour. in case you like actual to style squash next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days purchase seed and make optimistic it quite is open pollinated/heirloom. while the plant life flower make optimistic the plant lifestyles are actually not pollinated by potential of something different than you (the e book Seed to Seed by potential of Susan Ashworth has suggestion on a thank you to try this). shop seed in easy terms from squash that has hand pollinated. Squashes choose distinctive room-plant the seeds 3' aside. Plant previous due might/early June.

Don't bother. Chances are these are hybrid pumpkins and the seeds will not come true. You will be disappointed with the results. Buy a packet of seeds in spring, or a couple of starts from a greenhouse.

Dry them out and keep them in a ziplock bag.
